This book is for cyclists, commuters looking for a change, and urban planning types, certainly, but also for any reader who enjoys a refreshing perspective.—Evan Osenton, Alberta Views
Changing attitudes about winter is difficult, as Babin acknowledges, but it’s what he sees as the biggest struggle in getting more people to see winter biking as a viable way of commuting. And so he softens, somewhat, on his views around the toughness required for successful winter cycling and starts to embrace the season as an essential part of the Canadian experience, not an enemy to be overcome. It’s this transition in attitude that makes Frostbike’s approach feel fresh and relevant. It’s not about the bike, it’s not about the lanes, it’s not about being tougher than everyone else; winter biking starts from changing our relationship with the season itself.—Jeff Carson, Dandyhorse Magazine
Whether you’re a fair-weather cyclist looking to expand your bike knowledge during the off-season or an avid winter cyclist looking for inspiration, this book has a lot of knowledge to offer.—Ali Byers, AMS Bike Co-op
